Hi all,
I was talking to my dad last night, he mentioned to me that he had heard something about a product similar to the iTrip (broadcasts music on an FM frequency within a short range) which plugs into the USB or some other port on a laptop. He didn't know anything else about this, but was quite interested as to whether they exist or not. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

Why couldn't you just plug in the iTrip thingy into the laptop earphone jack? Or am I missing something?

The iTrip has an additional port for the iPod. Won't fit in the headphone jack.

But if you're going to do that, might as well get external speakers (which would sound better than an FM signal) or AirPort Extreme.
